This website is the product
of
about five years of genealogical research. Perhaps the one
absolute truth in genealogy is that the search is never-ending!
The family tree so far is here (it has
probably not been updated recently, so there is MUCH information to be
added/corrected/emended-PLEASE contact me
if you believe or know we are related!). I also have pages devoted to pictures of unknown relatives
(paternal side) page #1
#2;
there are also photos of ancestors and relatives on cousins' websites;
these pages are listed in the "links" section below. Most,
but not all, of the information in my tree comes from "primary
sources." I am slowly working on attaching the citations from my files
to the information in the database. YES- THERE ARE SOME KNOWN "DATA
ISSUES." They will eventually all be corrected-faster if you bring them
to my attention!!
The central locations of ancestral interest are:
United States:
New York City and Detroit
Canada: Ontario:
Huron County, Hastings County, Lennox and Addington
County, Rainy River District; Nova Scotia (Cape Breton Island
[Inverness County, Cape Breton County])
and
Newfoundland (the Irish of St. John's & environs)
England: mainly in
Lancashire (vicinity of Bury parish: Tottington, Holcombe), Durham
(vicinity of Sunderland, Monkwearmouth, Bishopwearmouth, Penshaw,
Washington, Houghton le Spring parishes) and Northumberland
(Newcastle, Tynemouth, also Allendale, Ninebanks parishes)
Sweden: Hedemora, Kopparberg (a.k.a. Dalarna) and surrounding
parishes in the vicinity of the district known as Bergslagen
including Gustafs,
Stora Tuna, Norrbärke,
Söderbärke, Grangärde,
and Norberg in Västmanland. Also, Östra
Ryd in Östergötland and surrounding parishes,
including
Björsäter, Yxnerum, Västra
Husby, Värna,
and also Gärserum in Kalmar (Småland).
